I read the craziest story earlier this week. Entrepreneurs in Amsterdam are living in dread of criminals who are undermining to cause acts of terror unless they are paid a extortion expense in bitcoin.
As per a Netherlands newspaper NLTimes, messages have been sent to different organizations in Amsterdam requesting bitcoins worth 50,000 euros. Inability to pay, the messages caution, hand explosives will be planted at the business premises or the organizations will go under a hail of slugs compelling conclusion. In the Dutch capital, businesses are required to close down for a timeframe if there should be an occurrence of a shooting or after an explosive has been found.

I haven't read such news but in any case this has nothing to do with bitcoin. this sounds like a terrorist act rather than being an extortion and this would be the first time they ask for bitcoin. in the past there has been thousands of cases that they did the same and asked for fiat since fiat like US dollar is easier to use by the terrorists and is impossible to track. that is why what you posted here is strange to hear.
